Hi, there. Trying to use more\_like\_this function and seems like it doesn't work at the latest version of ES. Any ideas what is wrong?

-----I have created index ----

PUT /test\_index2  
{

"mappings": {  
"doc": {  
"properties": {  
"city": {  
"type": "text",  
"term\_vector": "yes",  
"analyzer": "keyword"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

PUT /test\_index2/doc/2  
{  
"city": ["Wellington"]  
}

---- put some data ----  
PUT /test\_index2/doc/2  
{  
"city": ["New York"]  
}

--- now trying to search ---  
GET test\_index2/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"more\_like\_this" : {  
"fields" : ["city"],  
"like" : "Welling"  
}  
}  
}
